Hotel Stealth Camping at UK's Biggest Hotel Chain

In today's video I stealth camp at the UK's biggest and most popular hotel chain and brand in the country the Premier Inn. I do some van camping in the hotel car park and cook up some delightful food whilst enjoying a night stealth camping in the van.

When i parked my truck overnight in the motorway service i would apply gaffer tape to the number plate. and remove on exiting, never got a ticket.

[@austinpowers2k9]

I've done this a few times, pick the ones without anpr or if there are, then go inside and ask how much a night to stay is and say is it ok to put my reg number into your system so i don't get a ticket when i leave in a "minute" :D

[@Gazmeizster_Wongatron]

I always put a layer of pasta at the bottom of the dish first before layering any mince... Once you've cooked and portioned the lasagne, it's much easier to dish out the portions in one piece if you've got something firm for the spatula to scoop up!

[@LeeKAspinall]

There is something therapeutic about this style of videos. Keep up the great content Will!

[@twinklestar01]

YAY I love the stealth camping videos!! I think it would also be cool to see you stealth camp at an airport, university, mall or near a big attraction.

You seen how much it is just to set your eyes on Heathrow😂

Love love love your stealth camps! Especially with rain 👌🏻 perfection. So cozy even to watch 😊

Outstanding Will! Great to see you out and about. I sensed this fun tone in your voice and so glad to see that! Stay well Mate!

Yes mate, looking forward to this winter content! Let's go! 👍🏻

I think you can safely say the fine will be in the post, I hope I'm wrong but all those cameras and the rules doesn't bode well. Good to see you back Will, refreshed and reset. 👍🏻🙂

We are back Baby !!! I’ve watched every video from the start of your channel including the entire van build but so good to be back stealth camping thankyou ❤

[@jenny.barter]

Yaaaas the stealth camps are back,think you’ve finally done it Will…Mary is complete you have everything you need and she looks soooo cosy and comfy,im really super happy for you she’s finally done.that lasagne looked absolutely banging mate.Looking forward to the Christmas stealth camp special lol,will set you a challenge to cook a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings in the van

[@Yawnymcsnore]

When they say camera controlled it means they will auto send you a fine because they have anpr on the way in and out

That was cool camping out there, love it mate, brilliant as always

Awesome to see you back , best camper van life on you tube 😀

[@garethsmith5726]

Hi Will, Glad to see you back again. You need some of those number plates that Niel fitted to his van so you can flip as you enter the car park to hide your registration. Love the vids keep them coming.

[@notwhereyouthink]

Will, I've got to say mate you certainly know how to look after yourself. The only thing missing from that setup was a good Chardonnay and a bed warmer.

[@bash83845]

Glad to see you back out and about Will, that looked like a bloody fantastic lasagne! 👌

[@stuartmays]

I usually do a little olive oil first, then the sauce then the layers of lasagne, just to help it not burn and stick to the bottom.

[@billh03903]

Welcome back! Hope the break served you well. BTW, I agree about chicken mince. I prefer it in many things over beef. Look forward to many more videos. As always, be well! ❤

[@3dognite]

Glad you are back Will. What a delicious looking meal you made. I hope it tasted as good as it looked. You had a sweet place to stealth camp. Premier Inn has some expensive prices for lodging, but it also has prices as low as $72 US dollars. This was a great video. Thanks for sharing.

Well done Will, epic looking lasagne, great videos, thank u for taking the time to do them 👍👍

[@peepresc8002]

We use Premier Inn quite a bit, a lot of the hotels are used by business men and workmen in vans etc, so during the week it is full, they even charge more for a weekday knowing business men etc will pay it.

[@Headlikeanorange84]

Glad to see you're back Will! Hope the break reinvigorated you!

On the road again....welcome back brother. Yes...rain on the roof when you're cosy and warm inside is just the best.

[@mark70s29]

Glad you're back! I stealth camp in my converted small car (UK) a I find truck stops are excellent (I used to be a long distance tramper) decent food and a shower. Also NHS hospitals are very cheap parking.. usually less than £10 for 24 hours and you can get food and have a wash:) I just put my highway jacket on and walk like I own the place:)

[@tracyholliday2200]

Never parked in a Surrey NHS hospital then, £2 minimum for one hour!

😀 Great to have you back Will, I hope you enjoyed your rest. That chicken Lasagna looked amazing that was VanMade. Soo nice. Probably better off in the van than the Premier Inn. No Lenny Henry. World Cup in less than two weeks, so you will have plenty to watch in the VaN MaN. Great Vlog. Rog from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. 👊

[@petewatson9866]

Hi Will, They usually grab your registration info using ANPR cameras. I got a parking ticket through my door and had to prove I was staying at hotel. But I have been told that you don’t have to pay. Stay safe and happy

[@itchyballsack6627]

Private car parking tickets you just ignore. Its council issued ones you can have issues with...

[@jamesdare8584]

@@itchyballsack6627 Yes, SO MANY people are ignorant of this fact. A private car parking ticket is an INVOICE not a FINE. Unlike a ticket issued by the council or police, which IS a fine and you should not ignore. A private car parking enforcement agency that is registered with the BPA or IPC, could issue you with a CCJ to chase the "debt" but they usualy don't bother.

Hi Will. Sit watching all of your videos. Love nothing more than sitting after work with a beer or two watching your little escapades. Really thinking of doing this soon and you really have made it more possible than it was. Quick question, where do you know of that you can camp in the new forest without any charges without going to campsites??? Look forward to your next vids... Mark.

I love your videos and your van but I do miss seeing you struggle to camp in the car! Great to see you stealthing again!

The people in the parking lot probably thought it's just a lasagne factory's delivery guy taking a nap at the hotel room. The same factory also delivers loud tellys which can't be turned off.

Im jealous. I really like your van layout and how you put it all together. Wish i could do something like that.

[@cgay6752]

Only problem with parking in the car park, is that your registration number may have been read & a fine could end up making its way through the post. Hope this isn't the case for you.

[@grandmasmagic3858]

back in 2014 I stayed with friends at a Premier hotel just in a little town down the road from Bannockburn, Scotland..as we were checking under the beds for any shoes tucked under we instead found a pair of purple lacy undies...obviously the cleaners did not do a good job of cleaning...we complained to front desk where they promptly comped us for one of us staying and gave us free breakfast boxes..came in handy for me cause I was driving around the UK in a Wicked camper that trip..

[@MasteredUltraInstinct]

You need to change those blinds or whatever they are to black instead of the white paper, it's a dead giveaway for Stealth campers like you. And welcome back!

[@billspectre9502]

Great episode! The van has turned out so great! How about a stealth camp near a castle ruin?? Aren’t they like everywhere over there? Or a rustic dogging spot. 😂

OMG. If l lived in the UK and not Australia if invites for dinner went out l'd be there. The van is bloody awesome and the old Will we know and love is back. You had a tough time but you came out sparkling. Great inspirational vid and l'll be attempting to make Lasagna.. 👏👏👏

Better advert than lenny Henry's! You look fully recharged a day ready to go👍

[@MrJep0]

Nice to see you back doing what we love to see most on here. 👌 I'd like to see you stealth camp in some more risky carparks. Supermarkets, hotels and random public carparks are too safe now. Where's the trepidation??!! Try a prison, hospital, police station, airport, zoo, theme park etc..

[@MitchellBPYao]

everywhere else, avoid those

[@sueboh59]

Wow, that was a beautiful looking lasagne. I might just steal your idea of chicken mince Will. You definitely had the correct way of layering too

[@sheenaakyol8227]

Great to see you back on the road. I use Premier Inns all the time, when not in my van for work. The cameras normally pick up your number plate going in and out, hope you don't end up with a fine. The Autoterm heaters are the best, I've got one in my van, I love it. Have a great week x

[@iaincampbell4422]

Suspect during the segment where he asked about staying he quietly entered his reg on the machine but didn't film it. Probably grabbed a drink at the beefeater and entered a reg. I've noticed in some places where signs reference ANPR there don't actually appear to be any ANPR cameras.

[@sheenaakyol8227]

@@iaincampbell4422 that's a great idea if they have the screen to enter the reg, I've only seen them at the hotel reception desk
